FOURTH DIMENSION

The standard edition of FOURTH DIMENSION contains the ten main tracks of Lonesome_Blue’s second full-length album with nothing added around them. Roughly three and a half years after Second To None, the band has passed through a lineup change, restarted as a three-piece, and in 2026 made its major-label debut on King Records with guitarist Sally on board. The title points in two directions at once: a fourth physical release, and a fourth member. With Mao as sound producer, the record holds together the metal and hard-rock weight the band already had and the articulate, performance-trained vocal delivery that has always set them apart. “EVERGLOW” opens by placing a clearly drawn riff against a wide chorus without letting either dominate. “Break the Limit” and “Reason To Be” carry momentum, while “Ideal Blue” (written by Sally) and “Blue Canvas” (written by MIZUKI) set the newest writer and a long-standing one side by side. The second half widens the range: the elusive drift of “Will-o’-the-wisp”, the direct but structurally sly “New Breed”, the heat of “Burn This Night” with lyrics by Nomura, and the power ballad “The Rose of Peace” moving from restraint into release. “ALIVE!” closes not with a display of technique but with the plain fact of still playing. Without a bonus disc, this edition lets the ten-song arc stand on its own, which is the clearest way to hear how the album is built.
